gsw_sound_speed_ice

Contents

USAGE:

sound_speed_ice = gsw_sound_speed_ice(t,p)

DESCRIPTION:

Calculates the compression speed of sound in ice.

INPUT:

t   =  in-situ temperature (ITS-90)                           [ deg C ]
p   =  sea pressure                                            [ dbar ]
        ( i.e. absolute pressure - 10.1325 dbar )

p may have dimensions 1x1 or Mx1 or 1xN or MxN, where t is MxN.

OUTPUT:

sound_speed_ice  =  compression speed of sound in ice           [ m/s ]

EXAMPLE:

t = [-10.7856; -13.4329; -12.8103; -12.2600; -10.8863; -8.4036;]
p = [     10;      50;     125;     250;     600;    1000;]

sound_speed_ice = gsw_sound_speed_ice(t,p)
